Sword art online hollow fragment english8/22/2023 ![]() ![]() Just don’t expect a whole lot in terms of gameplay variety. It’s very close tonally to the anime and really feels like a natural extension of the show inside and out. Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment is ultimately a base-level RPG, but if you enjoy the show it’s definitely worth checking out. Sadly, the only multiplayer is a small ad-hoc (local) mode where you can adventure with friends in a limited fashion. There’s also a New Game+ to keep you going - so if you’re looking for a lengthy RPG, this is it. Things like dating minigames, conversations between NPCs, and other sideshows ultimately help distract you from the dungeon-crawling nature of the game. You’ll need that excitement if you want to make it through the roughly 50+ hour tale, because there’s lots of grinding involved as you complete typical MMO kill quests to unlock floors and make your way to the end. Again, it helps if you come into the game liking the show so that you can enjoy the ride. Most of your enjoyment is going to be via role play, where you buy into the game’s world, characters, and lore. Just keep in mind that the game doesn’t really get that difficult until level 85. You also have the option to enter the “Hollow” anytime you want, and complete a separate storyline with newcomer Philia - which definitely breaks up the monotony of Arc Sofia since the Hollow is more of an open world compared to Aincrad’s floor-by-floor structured approach. Since the game is technically offline, you’ll have to find NPCs by way of your “friends list,” and track them down. ![]() I like the “one city” concept in theory, but the hub itself isn’t all that vibrant visually, or lively in terms of gameplay. On your journey from floors 76-100, you’ll have access to one town - Arc Sofia. If you find yourself loathing a certain conversation though you can use the handy fast-forward button (L). Having said that, the Japanese voices are great, I generally like the characters at hand, and the hand-drawn models during conversations look straight out of the anime - on the Vita’s OLED, it looks incredibly crisp. In short, you aren’t going to like everyone, and since the game packs in 100 companions (as well as characters never seen before on the first two arcs of the show like Sinon), you have a lot to sift through. *Disclaimer: I have no affiliation to Bandai Namco.There’s going to be fanservice, tropes, and cutesy conversations just like the show. *plus putting up with me the general asshole of the thread Special thanks to Listonosh for the AI / Costume guide.Īnd a big thanks to the rest of all you members here in the OT that make this little community what it is today!
